Your team is developing a project schedule for a manufacturing facility upgrade. You have identified all activities, sequenced them, and estimated their durations. Several team members have been assigned to multiple concurrent activities. What should you do next to complete the schedule development process?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is C. Following the predictive schedule development process, after sequencing activities and estimating durations, the next step is to estimate resource requirements before finalizing the schedule. You cannot create a realistic schedule without knowing resource availability and constraints, especially since team members are assigned to multiple activities. Option C follows the proper sequence: activity definition → sequencing → duration estimating → resource estimating → schedule development. Option A (reserves) comes later after schedule analysis. Option B is premature without resource-loading the schedule. Option D cannot be done until resource estimates and availability are considered to create a feasible schedule.
